Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: confinement, social interaction, past memories, travel disruption; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups and group shots, indoor lighting, static camera

Two people converse in a dimly lit room, followed by a group seated at a dining table in a house. The dialogue references trains, a flood, and past acquaintances. No explicit action beyond conversation and dining is shown.

“Good night. What's your name? Harold. Good night, Harold.” 28:54 · “Oh, here's Mr. Dunlap now. Good morning. Good morning. Hi, Harold. Hello, Mike. I bet it was so comfortable I overslept. Oh, that's good. Oh, Mr. Dunlap, this is Ruth Bennett.” 29:27 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
